Happy Spring, Storms and New Reunion Photos posted

I hope everyone is enjoying their spring so far and that you had a glorious Easter celebration yesterday. We were out of town and received a much needed but torrential downpour that lasted several hours. I understand that it only rained hard for a short period in the Houston area--at least just long enough and about the time that our church had planned to continue the service outside with the flowering of the cross, butterfly release and Easter egg hunt! Plan B was moving to the Family Activity Center for the flowering of the cross, having an egg hunt in the auditorium, and allowing the kids to take home a butterfly in a pouch to release later when the sun came out so all was not lost.

On another note, my mother in law and her sister live in the town of Mena, Arkansas which was hit hard by at least two tornadoes on Thursday evening of last week when storms rolled through their area. The warning sirens as well as those from emergency vehicles were prevalent for several hours making the situation even more frightening. Much of the city was without power and my mother in law was hunkered down in her closet until the immediate danger was over. According to the last news report I heard, three people were killed in addition to damage or total loss of property. Please be praying for all of the residents in Mena as well as others in the path of that weather system that went across that part of the country.

Jumping topics again, we've had a few more reunion pictures posted on the photo link. You can view these photos by clicking on the link located on the right side of the home page. There are currently 89 photos if it has been awhile since you looked to see who was there. By request, we are considering having another reunion in two years. We will keep this blog running so that we can relay any former member "news", but please keep us in mind if you have a change of address for future reunion information when the time comes.
